IRON CURTIS 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Hudd Traxx was founded in 2005 in Huddersfield. It set about uncovering music from the likes of Iz & Diz, Stacy Kidd, Jason Hodges and Mike Steele - who all helped put the label firmly on the map with their releases. To celebrate a decade and a half in the business, Danny White and Co. have tapped some label alumni for fresh material to celebrate the occasion. Veteran American producer JT Donaldson is certainly no stranger to the label, and he serves up the boompty and hypnotic groove of 'What I Got', while Berlin's Iron Curtis pays homage to one of the scene greats on 'Kerri On (Chandelier Dub)' and Swiss deep house engineer Agnes returns with some typically dubby and minimal house on 'Embryonic Connections' .

Review: There's plenty of fine, and in some cases overlooked, material to be found on Frank Music's third deep dive into their vaults. Chief amongst these is I:Cube's fantastic remix of Johannes Albert and Iron Curtis's 'Hurting', where star fall synth sounds tumble down over delay-laden machine drums, lilting lead lines and a typically chunky, hypnotic bassline. Further floor-friendly fare is provided courtesy of the 'Italo Mix' of Albert's 'Kururh' - a throbbing new-Italo-disco gem with bonus dream house piano riffs - and Albert's joyous classic house-meets-Metro Aarea remix of Sascha Criminiera's 'Milla Calls'. Throw in a solid I:Cube bonus beats and the dream Balearic acid of Johannes Albert's 'Schonrain (Ibiza Mix)' and you have a flawless package.

Review: It seems like Iron Curtis has been around forever now - always in the underground, never getting the acclaim he deserves but never falling out of favour either. This latest outing takes him to Chiwax for four more finely tuned and club-ready offerings of seductive and deep tech. 'Schweben' is a nice elastic rhythm with slowly undulating chords that melt the mind, while 'Push Push' (live At Passagen) is a more steamy and intense bit of cosmic deep house with drive and intent. 'Factory' (Sheffield Danse mix) is a warehouse-ready tune with bright strobe-lit chords and 'Weather Report' closes with more deny acid and melancholic chords that get you in a daze.

Review: While second guessing what Iron Curtis will offer up next is always tricky, you can guarantee that it will be deep, alien sounding and hugely atmospheric. This trademark sensibility is at the heart of "And The Temper", an intoxicating, otherworldly EP that sees him drift between wonky dancefloor electronica ("010103"), dusty interludes ("And The Temper"), electrofunk-influenced broken house deepness ("Mars (Epoch Mix)"), intergalactic late night futurism ("Arash"), ultra-deep analogue workouts (the fuzzy, slightly stoned warmth of "Fine Fine") and mind-soothing ambient bliss (superb closing cut "Strategie '98").
